About Nathan Heflick

I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Lincoln.
I joined Lincoln in 2015 having previously worked as a Research Associate at the University of Kent from 2012-2015. I completed my PhD in 2012 at the University of South Florida, where I specialised in experimental social psychology. While completing my PhD, I taught at the university and worked as a researcher at LifePath Hospice in Tampa.
My research currently addresses the following questions:
1- Do health warnings that remind people of death actually work?
2- What are the emotional consequences (good and bad) of thinking about death?
3- To what extent do people "lash out" against others - even if they have nothing to do with anything - following negative feedback?
4- When is sexualisation humanising and when is it dehumanising?
5- Does teaching about psychological biases reduce psychological biases?
